A Little While
“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” In this message, Jamin speaks on how Jesus’ phrasing here worked on his heart.

Judah Aware
They were going to kill Joseph before Judah got in the way. His plan wasn’t noble, but it wasn’t full-on murder. Instead, he convinced his brothers to sell Joseph into slavery. In doing so, their deep hatred of their father’s favorite son was finally satisfied. They returned home and told a lie to their father…

Writing a Different Story
I sat down at my dining table feeling hopeless. No matter what I did or said to try to repair the situation, nothing seemed to be working. Suddenly the thought popped into my mind: “Forgive them.” I reluctantly said the words out loud. “No, I want you to mean it.” I tried again. “Jamin?” I…

Ordained Possibilities
I’ve known a handful of people who have been on the brink of death over and over again, yet they’ve miraculously pulled through.

Jealous for God
“We’ve decided to have a prayer tunnel, and everyone is welcome to come up on stage and walk through it,” the woman announced. I excitedly and fearfully got in line with hundreds of others as I was very hungry for a deeper experience of the Holy Spirit. As I entered the prayer tunnel, everyone around…

Trauma and God’s Goodness
When I lead people through inner healing, I work with the Holy Spirit through the visions he brings to their minds. But this method stops working sometimes when the Holy Spirit needs to address deep, deep trauma. The first time this happened, the Holy Spirit was unmistakably clear with me about why: “I don’t want…

Struggling with Jesus
I didn’t know much about the prophets when I was a kid, but if it was possible to be one when I grew up, I wanted to be. They were the ones who saw miracles, healed people, raised the dead, had dreams and visions, met with angels, and talked with God. That was the kind…
